Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and polymerization. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
